Your Favorite Obscure Fruit for Country Wines
 

Blueberries, blackberries, pomegranates, black currants, and
elderberries are all popular fruits for country (non grape) wines. But
what's your favorite "unusual" fruit for wine making?

This cranberry juice from Costco is looking promising.... Funny
thing, Costco sells Ocean Spray and their own, theirs uses sugar and
is 30% juice, OS is that high fructose corn sugar and 27% juice.

I have bought "juice" from COSTCO to make wine. Just make sure its 100%
juice. I think one brand is Adam and .... I have made Apple Pear Passion
Fruit, Cran Raspberry, Pomegranate Black Cherry just naming a few.

Ok, here is a weird one and not really a fruit, but I once made wine onion
wine. It turned out surprisingly good and unless I told people what it was
made out of they enjoyed it.

I never heard of it. I had to look it up in Wikipedia. Since it's
related to apples and pears, I would assume a Quince wine would be
like a cider or perry. How would you describe it?

How would you describe it? Can you compare it to any other wine?

Cranberry. Not from bought juice, but from berries. It took 3+ years in
the bottle to come around, but now it is pretty good - strong - but
good. Makes a good Cosmo base ingredients.
I bought bags of them, crushed them and followed Jacks' recipe. I up'd
the alcohol so it would be around 15%, which is why it took years to
come around.

Is it one from Jack's website? You've piqued my interest.

Is the wine light or dark, sweet or dry? Does it remind you of any
other beverage?

Recipe is from the Winemaker's Recipe Handbook. It is actually a really
sweet wine.

The best I can do to describe the taste is that it is somewhat like apple or
pear but with a hint of citrus and very fragerant, like a subtle perfume.

Wild cherry, wild persimmon. You've got to let the persimmons fall and
fight the possums for them. My wife has a great wild persimmon cookie
recipe also although we don't have it with us now.

I make a very good raspberry, and am playing with pyment. One of my best
wines was an elderberry white grape mix, fermented together.
